More examples: Added fogerty. Witnessed the performance during 2006 tour. He may have used it earlier as well.
Line 100:
 
[[John Pointer]] taps and slaps on his acoustic guitar, similarly to [[Justin King]]. He uses several alternate tunigs, and a retrograde thumb position (fingertip pointing toward the floor) for slapping chords on the bottom strings. He often taps harmonics and false harmonics and lets them ring while tapping/hammering on bass and counterpoint with his left and right hands. He also employs hand percussion techniques on the body of his acoustic, while incorporating stomps, like [[Chris Whitley]], and [[Beatboxing]], like [[Kenny Muhammad]]. A prime example of these techniques all used together (with vocals) is one of his signature tunes, <em>The Flame</em>.
 
[[John Fogerty]] has also picked up a one-handed tapping style, similar to Eddie Van Halen. During his 2006 tour, he played tap-style solos during song breaks.
